Keurig K-Cafe Special Edition Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee, Latte and Cappuccino Maker - Nickel

A: Do you need a filter for this machine

A: I used the Cafe Bustelo Espresso K-pods and I can't tell that it's not a real espresso.

A: I used Starbucks Italian Roast k-pods and it was VERY strong like espresso.

A: Thanks for your question Alex. The K-Café coffee maker does not brew espresso - it brews espresso style beverages. It does not use pressure to brew the K-Cup pods. It brews the K-Cup pods the way any other Keurig brewer brews them, but since it only brews at a 2oz size, it is a more concentrated, stronger cup of coffee that resembles the flavor and roast of a classic espresso beverages. We hope this helps!

A: Thank you for your question. The K-Cafe coffee maker is compatible with the Keurig My K-Cup Universal Reusable Filter with MultiStream Technology and the Tall Handle Water Filter. We hope this helps!

A: If interested, I'm a Keurig user and if you go to the Keurig website (www.keurig.com), you can order their coffee, etc cups. They come in red, yellow and blue, with the "Keurig symbol," in the front.

A: Thank you for your question. The K-Cafe Special Edition coffee maker does not include a mug.

A: I haven't measured it but it appears to be 2 ounces

A: Thanks for your question! The SHOT button brews a concentrated 2oz shot of coffee.

A: Thank you for your question. We recommend you only use genuine Keurig K-Cup pods in your Keurig coffee maker as these meet the Keurig standards for taste, quality and safety and are tested to perform in our coffee makers. We do not make or test the other brands, so using non-Keurig pods or accessories may decrease your coffee maker’s performance, overall life and may affect its warranty. To determine if a pod is a genuine Keurig K-Cup pod, look for the Keurig logo on the outside of the pod box and on the pod lid. This logo indicates that the pod is authentic and compatible with Keurig machines. We hope this helps!

A: Thanks for your question. The K-Cafe Special Edition Coffee Maker is compatible with the Keurig My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter which can be used with your own ground coffee for a single cup. Hope this helps!

A: Absolutely! Just lift and lower the handle without inserting a K-Cup pod and press the COFFEE button. The 4 cup sizes will blink. Select your cup size and press the blinking brew button. The K-Cafe Special Edition will simply brew out hot water. We hope this helps!

A: Thanks for your question. The K-Café coffee maker has a preset brew temperature to optimize taste. The temperature of a 6, 8, 10, or 12oz dispensed beverage can range from 170-190 degrees Fahrenheit. We hope this helps!

A: The K-Café Special Edition cannot froth and heat water at the same time. While the brewer is heating, the frother cannot be turned on. Once heated, you will be able to choose the "Shot" button while your milk is frothing. Hope this is helpful!

A: Keurig warrants that your Keurig Home Coffee Maker will be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home use for one year from the date of purchase. We hope this information is helpful!
